THOUGHTS ON CHRISTIAN HEALING.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
viii, according to my understanding,
try to give few thoughts only in re-
gard TO Christian science. Pages and
pages might be written on the subject, as
the the chime is an nnbounded one, for
it is Of God.
Christ said TO his apostles ''be of good
cheer | have overcome the world" He
sent messages to the churches, expressive
of regard TO him that overcometh. -
The Apostle saws, For whatsoever is
born of God, overcometh the world. :"
SO, there is a great reward for him that
so near as | can in a short article. that
overcoming is the casting away, the
''Blind of the flesh which is at ennity
with God and is not subject to the law of
God. neither indeed can be-" Christ
said Il have overcome the world" and
he says, "He Is the way and the only
way He ever said: Follow
me" l understand that no one
can come unto the Father but
through that one way, that one path that
overcometh; for He has given us an ex-
ample that we should do even as he has
done. Christ in overcoming the world
was destroying the works of the devil.
He Judged that evil one and found him
wanting lacking. For he showed
that the evil one had no power; not over
the grave even, the greatest enemy.
None of the works of the evil one could
stand before the truth-the word Of God.
When the truth appeared the works of
the lie disappeared. See how the blind
would receive their sight mysteriously
the deaf would hear and the manned
would walk. 1t was the power of God.
of the truth, that did it. And that same
truth is just as quick, sharp and powerful
now as of old. 1t never changes-the
same today, yesterday and forever. What
we have to do is 10 know that truth. and
it shall make us free" Then We can do
the same work: and not us. but
the Spirit of truth which worketh in US
as It did Also in Him. 1t is our birthright,
for we are joint heirs with Him. 1t is

NOT so FUNNY AFTER ALL.

The Wichita EAGLE tries to be funny,
and endeavOrs to show that the relative
vote polled in Topeka and Wichita last
Tuesday is a basis from which to estimate
the population of these two cities. The
idocy of such proposition is apparent
when it is considered that not one-h half of
the qualified voters of Topeka went to the
polls on that day. There was not speech
made in Shawnee county during the recent
campaign, but the Republican ticket was
elected by 1900 majority. Those who did
| vote simply accepted the Capitals adj
vice and supported the Republican ticket.
| How about Wichita and Sedgwick county?
Every campaign orator was put on the
stump and the Eagle screamed Itself
hoarse and then failed in electing the en-
! tire ticket. Does such a result indicate
that our usually esteemed contemporary
eXerted any great influence in the contest?
| Hardly. Perhaps the voters remembered
that in the not far distant past the Eagle
had denounced the same party that 1t sup
ported in the late archaeological.
Conceeding the that Topeka did not
poll more than one-half their votes or
that full vote would have shown twice
as many ballots as were cast even then
she would have been thousand votes
behind Wichita As for How about
Wichita!" we believe that the Republi-
cans held but two meetings in the city
during the entire campaign. The EAGLE
in its hoarseness don't know what else
the voters remembered but they didn't
remember that the EAGLE denounced
the same party that it supported. 1t
! denounced the blunders of some of its
members high in authority, denounced
the work of the legislature, de-
nounced the action of the executive
council and denounced that country
jack leg lawyer who tries to rattle
around in the chair of the states at
torney. Its all very funny, no doubt, in
the estimation of the Capital but had the
Murray law, and its police commission
been saddled on Topeka not single
Republican candidate in Shawnee county
would have come within mile of being
elected.

FARM NOTES,

Farmers should remember that more
implements are ruined by neglect than
actual wear.
The cattle industry of the United
States represents 1900, 100000.
The first bale of cotton ever put up in
Barber county. or southern Kansas, was
ginned and bailed at burst & Hardy S
mill on Thursday.-Crescent.
Farmers report that wheat is in most
excellent condition. The large amount
of rain we have had this fall may check
the ravages of chinch-bugs next year
Clifton Review.
Except on newly cleared land wheat
should not be soSn broadcast. Not only
is there great saving of seed in using a
drill, but that deposits the seed at an even
depth, and secures more regular stand.
A poor. NANCY pig is of no value; close
confinement in filth and dirt viii check
the growth, however generous the feed;
but, if starved at the same time, it would
be a mercy to both pig and owner to send
them to the manure pile.
Rye receives less care than any other
grain 1t is sown on the lightest soils
without fertilizers OF any kind. 1t viii
grow crop every three or four years
sufficient to pay for the labor expended.
on soils so light that no turf is ever seen.
1t also stands out prominently among
the successful methods of green manur-
ing. For this purpose rye Is second only
to clover.

THE SITE OF EDEN.
Hartford Courant,

Hartford Courant.
President Warren, of Boston Univer-
sity, thinks that the human race started
from the north pole on its protracted
travels, and has set forth his reasons for
thinking so in a book. His brother
Methodist, Bishop Keener, dissents. His
guess is that the Garden of Eden lay on
the Atlantic coast of this happy country,
between the Santee and Savannah rivers,
and he brings forth several arguments In
support of it.
One is the vast collection of remains
of the largest mammals found
in the phosphate region around
Charleston, South Carolina. These
animals" he says, were not f1oated into
this place by the action of sea currents,
but were here from the first and found in
the alluvial plains around, and meadows
filled with Dubious plants, and an exu-
berant flora, their original habitat. Then
the Mosaic account shows that the ark
Quilt at point not far from the original
home of the race) was built with a
special view to speed and for a long voy-
age; and it is certainly a very respecta-
BILE distance from Charleston to Mount
Arrart-say S,515 miles. Moreover,
the good bishop figures it out that the
gulf stream would have taken the ark to
the fortieth parallel, and then, in that
time of general submergence, it would
have sped due east. Finally, by way Of
clincher, the good bishop reminds Presi-
dent Warren aud all others interested
that John Wesley began getting relig-
ion and published his first hymn book
on the favored spot in question. There
certainly would be fitness, he says, in
starting Methodism near the original site

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

The Kechi Sunday school convention
was held at the Wesley chapel, October
so, 1897. A very large and interesting
audience was present, and the subjects
were ably discussed. W. II. Ransom led
the discussion of the subject, ''Duties
and RESPONSIBILITIES of Parents to the
Sunday Schools" J. C. Robb, How to
Make the Lesson Interesting; j. w.
Armstrong. s,The Best Method of Teach
ing" :,
Afternoon devotional services were led
bv W. L. De Croft. Organization of the
township was perfected. Duties of Sun
dav school superintendents was discussed
bv H. c. Porter. Duties of Sunday
school teachers by P. L. Deartb. How
to received the most benefit from Sunday
school conventions by R. Slyter. The
evening devotional services were led by
J. w. Armstrong. According to previous
announcement. the Hon. Noah Allen and
Henry K. fuller of Wichita, were TO ad-
dress the meeting in the evening. The
speakers arrived in due time. A good
time had been anticipated and the people
were in no wise disappointed. Grant

A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.

Travelling men who desire to see some
of natures grand sights should not fail
tosecure a team at Bucklin and drive
through the country of Ashland and all
towns south of Bucklin. There are some
grand canons, and ON the way one passes
over Mount Jesus, beautiful stone-cap-
ped mound from which one gets grand
view of all the surrounding country and
in fact almost all of Clark county. An
EAGLE representative took one of Clark
& Co.'S stepping teams and drove through
the country to the city of Ashland in a
little over four hours and says the trip is
worth taking. Travelling statesmen
should bear this in mind and see this

A Wonderful Editor.

Burton Graphic.
1t is the pride of Marsh Murdoch, of
the Wichita EAGLE, to have the most
tastefully arranged sanctum, the largest
daily and the latest improved and most
costly machinery in his office, of any
newspaper man in Kansas. His latest
scheme is Scott web ,perfecting press,
which required five months labor to
build it. and the machine weighs nine
teen tons. Both ST. Louis and Chicago
have heavier and larger machines. but
nothing finer or more complete. 1t
prints from stereotype plates, and not
from type, and is driven bysa thirty
horse power engine. 1t prints sixteen
hundred pages of seven columns each,
per minute, or siXty-nine thousand
pages an hour. Or. it prints and per-
fects four hundred four-page papers per
minute: or. it prints, cuts, pastes- folds,
trims and delivers from continuous role
of paper two hundred complete and per-
fected EAGLES per minute. 1t does this
so quietly that when any one of the
other six presses on the same floor are IN
motion the great machine cannot be
heard. The people of Wichita are not
envious of Marsh's prosperity, but take
pride in having him indulge in these
Injuries and go on giving him magni-
ficent patronage, knowing right well
that the city will reap rich rewards
from the expenditure. There are num-
Der of newspaper men in Kansas who
are extremely jealous of Marsh Murdoch,
and call him big-headed, egotistical and
such names-all talented men possess
more or less of self love-but the people
of Wichita revere him for the good work
he has done. and is still doing for the
town The mans whole soul is wrapped
up in the EAGLE, and if he was TO be
forcibly carried away from the Office
without power to return, he would
live but a short time. The amount
of mental labor his brain is ca
pable of performing, is something as
founding, and some day he will be found
sitting in the EAGLE sanctum chair with
lead pencil grasped in his pulseless
hand. while before him will be found a
half completed article about the Peer
less Princess of the Plains Marsh Muir
docks form will be there, but his spirit
will have gone to that country where
good newspaper men go for the rest they
never get in this restless world. Yes.
Marsh will die in the harness, without q
doubt

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

These are times in which science is
simply revolutionizing not only primitive
modes and methods but also material
agencies. For the heat, the energy,
which turn the, wheels Of commerce
| which furnishes the power applied to al
| most all conceivable machinery, and
| which developes the new light and power
of electricity, civilization has looked to
coal. Coal is being consumed by the
millions of tons daily. But for coal, for
the energy developed. through its com
stand still. All mechanical power is re-
solved back to the sleeping carbon in the
veins of bitumen which underlie the con-
tinents, as all life, animal and Vegetable
is resolved back to the heat of the sun
the source of energy. Revolutions
occur almost annually in the
modes of generating and applying
the energy derived from coal, but in the
end the initial production or price of
coal control after results. But it seems
that science is about to or has actually
| found a new method for converting an
! old agent into a heating energy which
not only surpasses that of coal, but which
| is cheaper, method and an agent which
will render it unnecessary for heavy
manufactures and smelters to longer
confne themselves to the coal regions.
The Archer-Gas-Fuel is the name of the
new agent and it is produced by com
bination Of crude petroleum and
live steam which form gas whose
flame reduces the most stubborn
metals, molts steel, makes steam, burns
bricks and does everything more quickly
and far more cheaply than coal, even
where the supply is unlimited. Tests
lately made in Scotland, in the Bethle-
iron furnaces, in smelters' and pudding
furnaces of England, have astonished the
mechanical world 1t is the invention OF
New York City man named Archer.
Mr.. George Merkle of Terre Haute, Ind,
where the appliance is being substituted
for the old coal furnace process, and who
is a large property holder in Wichita
and who also has an interest in the III.
vention, showed US yesterday several
testimonials of the performances of this
new agent which are almost beyond be-
| lief There is not a factory or a mill
driven by steam but that can employ
this new agent instead of coal. In brief,
accounts of tests in his possession that we
are on the eve of new revelation and
revolution in the mechanic arts.
